Complete the English Requirements for admission. If English is not your primary language you will need to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), for which you may either take the Internet-based Test (IBT) or the Paper-based Test (PBT). Use code 1797 to submit your scores to the Admissions Office. The Undergraduate Admissions Office requires that the test is no more than 2 years old, requiring a minimum score of 71 for the internet-based test or a 530 for the paper-based test.

Submit your high school transcripts, any college transcripts that you may have, a recommendation form, scores from the TOEFL and the ACT/SAT (if English is not your native language), or just the ACT/SAT scores (if English is your native language).

Send in your deposit to receive your I-20 or DS-2019 Certificate of Eligibility. A $2000 (U.S.) deposit is required before an I-20 or DS-2019 (Certificate of Eligibility) can be issued to you. This deposit will be saved in your student account and can be used toward your tuition and fees. Should you decide not to attend Trinity, this deposit will be refunded to you.

Pay the $200 SEVIS Fee to the United States government. This fee needs to be paid prior to your F or J visa interview. You will receive more information about this fee when you receive your I-20.

Contact the U.S. Embassy in your country to set up a visa appointment interview, once you have received your I-20. More information about the visa application procedures will be sent to you with your I-20. Remember that the F-1 and J-1 visa requires you to be a full-time student during your time in the United States.

In order to return to Trinity as an undergraduate student there are a couple steps involved in the process. As a former student you will be classified as a readmit applicant, so we do not need you to complete the standard application for admission to the university. Instead, we will need you to do the following:

Send official transcripts to the Admissions Operations Office from any schools you may have attended since leaving Trinity.

Once we have received your application, your file will be reviewed by the following offices for approval: Student Accounting, Student Development, and the Associate Academic Dean. If clearance has been granted by each of these offices, you will be re-accepted to the university for the requested semester.

Submit a $150.00 Enrollment Deposit ($100.00 if living off-campus) and a Room Reservation Form if you will be living on-campus. (Your admissions counselor will notify you if your deposit is still on your account)

Register for classes. Once your deposit has been received, your admissions counselor will walk you through the process to register for classes. Readmit students may register each semester after returning students complete registration and prior to new student registration.
